“The one indispensable requirement for producing godly, mature Christians is godly, mature Christians.”

“God also gave Theologians, Biblical scholars, and Christian authors to mature the Saints and to promote the cause of Christ and God's Kingdom".~R. Alan Woods [2012]”

“Voices calling Christians to forget about doctrinal differences and just love Jesus do not represent Christian maturity. This is like that humorous bit of wisdom, if you want to succeed every time, just lower the standards”

“Maturity is produced through relationships and community.”

“You, oh mature ones, keep company solely with other mature ones, and your maturity is so mature that it can only chum up with maturity!”

“Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God.”
